Well it was a pretty amazing day at pipe. Conditions improved throughout the day, the riders were pushing and rushing hard and the final was epic with non stop waves and exchanges of high scoring rides. The fellas that made the final deserved it as they were the consistent standouts throughout the days competition. Damian King was picking the right waves and surfing tight, Amaury Lavernhe always seemed to be in the right place at the right time and was surfing amazing, and then there were two new young fresh faces Jared Housten form South Africa boosting of huge backdoor ramps and Diego Cabrera from the Canary Islands charging deep spitting barrels and boosting large at both Pipe and Backdoor.
In the end though it was Amaury sealing the win with a 10 point ride. A deep long barrel pulling up at the end to launch a huge backflip and landing it sweet.
